What is a Feature Flag?

Feature Flag is a coding practice where while working on a new feature, everything related to that feature will be developed in a such a way that the feature can be enabled/disabled from a boolean flag.

That means we don’t need to keep track of multiple branches in case of hot-fix. The app can easily be shipped with feature flag OFF and it will behave exactly like it was before the feature was introduced.
